Falling Into Fall with Cleveland Botanical Garden and Halloweekends

My favorite season of the year is finally here.  If I hadn’t looked at the calendar last week to see Fall had arrived, this weekend’s fluctuating weather would have clued me in. To celebrate the changing colors and crisp air, Scott and I had two days full of Fall fun. We started it…

Coming Soon to a Cleveland Theatre Near You…

In another life long long ago (err, 6 years ago) and far far away (Philly), I used to work in theatre.  Specifically, marketing, sales and a little bit of backstage production work (random factoid #352: I worked backstage on this show for almost 2 years when it was in Philadelphia).  So when Fall rolls around, I get excited…

Jak of All Trades Fest – Labor Day Weekend

When it comes to Cleveland success stories, the tale behind Jakprints is one of my favorites (here’s an article I love from last year’s Cleveland Scene). From seeing the need fellow musicians had for printed materials to developing a company that Harvard called one of “the top 100 U.S. companies…

Then I read the Plain Dealer sneak peek on some of the featured artists and that sealed the deal.   If you still need convincing, though, here’s yet another reason: Emerging Chefs’ C4 at Ingenuity For 4…

PlayhouseSquare's Free YP Night at the Cinema

One of my favorite summer series – PlayhouseSquare’s Cinema at the Square – starts up tonight with King Kong.  As much I enjoy spending the warm-weather months outdoors, sometimes I like escaping into the air conditioning, curling up in a theatre seat and getting engrossed in a movie. And when it’s a classic film —…

Happy Dog Stage at Open Air in Market Square – Ohio City

If you were to ask me what my favorite ‘Saturday morning’ activity is in Cleveland, I’d be hardpressed to pick just one.  However, if I was really forced to, I would have to go with visiting Ohio City.  The Westside Market is swarming with activity and in general the neighborhood is filled with great people-watching…

The Sunshine Boys at Porthouse Theatre

Last week, I posted about my first trip to Blossom Music Festival to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I don’t know what took me so long to get out to the summer concert hotspot, but Scott and I tried to make up for lost time by paying it a return visit this past weekend. In addition…
